Much of what kids play with eventually ends up in their mouths. That’s especially true when what they are playing with is a brightly colored and has a consistency that’s somewhat food-like, as is the case with Play-Doh.

Spot Cool Stuff regulars may remember our piece on the the real life Simpsons house constructed in Nevada.

That house was attached to balloons and was able to fly!
